The Devil has never had a very great outfit or any great weight, but he has always known where to throw it, and he has always done an immense business on a small capital and the only way he has managed to get on at all, is by organizing, and by getting the attention of a few people at the top.
Altogether we looked with such unfeigned amazement at the landlord, when this queer outfit drove to the door, that he, native and to the manner born, could not suppress a broad smile.
They don't let me forget it either." "Why you come to this country?" asked Bela. "I want a piece of land the same as they do. But I've got to work to earn an outfit before I can settle." "When you get your land what you do then?" she asked. "Build a house, raise crops." "White man all want land to dig," said Bela wonderingly. "You've got to have land," explained Sam eagerly.
"What do you want around here? If you want a job go turn your horse into the corral an' git out there an' git to work on that resevoy." "No, Johnson, I don't want a job. I done had one experience with this outfit, an' I fired you for a boss for keeps." "Get offen this ranch!" roared the man, shaking a fist, and advancing one threatening step, "or I'll have you throw'd off!"
Clark was one of those who had been helped by the New England Emigrant Aid Society, an organization with headquarters in the Eastern States, and with agents in the West.

Also, at this very station, is the Supervisor's office of the Forestry Department. By inquiry here, the newcomer can ascertain all facts as to tenting outfit and camping place. Only one point must be kept in mind do not go into the National Forests expecting the railroads, or the rangers, or Providence, to look after you. Do not go unless you are prepared to look after yourself.
"'N' they shore want t' bring a crowd along when they tie into this yere outfit, now I'm tellin' yuh!"
Remember, we're feeding him out of our own supply all the way in. And if we run short in the pinch next year, you'll know the reason. Steamboats can't get up grub to Dawson till the middle of June, and that's nine months away." "Well, you put as much money and outfit in as the rest of us," Big Bill conceded, "and you've a say according."
"Who do you suppose I jest sold whisky to?" "I've no idea," replied Bostil. Yet he looked as if he was perfectly sure. "Cordts! ... Cordts, an' four of his outfit. Two of them I didn't know. Bad men, judgin' from appearances, let alone company. The others was Hutchinson an' Dick Sears." "DICK SEARS!" exclaimed Bostil. Muncie and Williams echoed Bostil. Holley appeared suddenly interested.
I found it much cheaper and more convenient to buy my supply of saddle stock at trail terminals than at home. Once railroad connections were in operation direct between Kansas and Texas, every outfit preferred to go home by rail, but I adhered to former methods for many years. In summing up the year's business, never were three partners more surprised.
